Ten facilities, and four of them tell you their minimum run before you call. That is the best rate of any state with ten or more facilities on our list — better than California, which has three and a half times as many plants and publishes almost nothing.
Published minimums first, smallest to largest, then the rest. Read the small print under each figure — a pilot batch and a standing minimum are not the same promise.
| Facility | City | Minimum run | Formats | Alcohol | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Eagle Park Brewing | Milwaukee | 700 canspilot batch only | Can 7.5–19.2 oz, glass | Beer, spirits, RTD | The lowest published entry point in the state, but read it carefully: 700 cans is their pilot batch minimum. Standard runs are 12,000 to 40,000 cans. Also bottles spirits. |
| Stevens Point Brewery | Stevens Point | 100 barrelsplus 1,000 bbl/year commitment | Can 12–19.2 oz, glass, keg | Beer, cider, seltzer | The batch size is 100 bbl, but the 1,000-barrel annual commitment is the figure that actually decides whether you qualify. Also runs NA beer, cider and soda. |
| Sprecher Brewing | Glendale | 1,500+ cases | Can, glass, keg, bag-in-box | Beer, seltzer, cider | The widest category list here: craft soda, sparkling water, lemonade, functional and sports drinks, mixers, RTD cocktails, beer and cider. 4,000 cases/day on the can line. |
| Octopi BrewingAsahi-owned since 2024 | Waunakee | 4,000 casesper SKU | Can 7.5–24 oz, glass, keg | Beer, seltzer, RTD | Largest published minimum in the state. Bought by Asahi in January 2024 and still open to third-party brands — but the co-packing pages now live on the parent's site, not octopibrewing.com. |
| FLOOIDex Arty's Premium Beverages | Clintonville | Not published | Can, glass | Not published | Advertises "on the money minimums" without ever naming a figure. Offers dedicated production lines under a programme they call Co-Source, plus recipe scale-up and brand development. |
| Infinity Beverageswinery & distillery | Eau Claire | Not published | Can, glass | Wine, spirits, RTD | A licensed winery and distillery that co-packs. Says it can produce almost any beverage except beer — the inverse of most facilities on this page. |
| Midwest Custom Bottling | Pewaukee | Not published | Glass | Spirits | Spirits-focused. Will develop a recipe to spec or run yours, then bottle, apply strip stamps and distribute. Handles COLA paperwork, ROPP caps, cork and shrink sleeves. |
| Midwest Co-Packing | Wauwatosa | Not published | PET 12 oz – 1 gal | — | Water specialist: spring, RO-purified, distilled, plus alkaline, caffeinated, vitamin and flavoured versions. PET and HDPE, 28 mm and 38 mm necks. |
| Wisconsin Brewing Company | Verona | Not published | Can | Beer | A contract production page exists, mentioning a canning line and tunnel pasteurisation, but publishes no minimum, no formats, no lead time and no email — contact form only. |
| WilCraft Canmobile canner, not a plant | Franklin | Not applicable | Can 8–19.2 oz, sleek, slim | Beer, RTD, spirits | Comes to you. Wisconsin's first mobile canning operator, since 2016, with in-line carbonation, nitrogen and hydrogen dosing, and bonded spirits transfer. Also fills RTD at their own site. No case minimum — they charge by the visit. |
Five of the ten are breweries: Eagle Park, Octopi, Sprecher, Stevens Point and Wisconsin Brewing. That isn't a coincidence in a state with this much brewing history — it's what happens when established plants have line time to sell and a culture of quoting batch sizes out loud.
It also explains why so many minimums here are stated in barrels rather than cases. A barrel is 31 US gallons; Stevens Point's 100 bbl is roughly 1,300 cases of 12 oz. We publish the unit the facility uses rather than converting it, because a converted number is our arithmetic, not their commitment.
The practical read: if you're launching a beer, cider, seltzer or canned cocktail, Wisconsin is a short and unusually transparent list. If you're launching a water or a juice, it narrows to two.
Across the 219 facilities we track nationally, only 32 publish a minimum — about one in seven. Wisconsin publishes four out of ten.
Compare it with California: 35 facilities, three published minimums. Or Texas: 15 facilities, five. Wisconsin has the fewest plants of the three and tells you the most.
A facility that publishes its minimum is telling you it doesn't want to waste your call or its own. That is worth something before you've even spoken to anyone.
Eagle Park's 700 cans is a pilot batch, not a standing minimum. Their standard runs are 12,000 to 40,000 cans. It's a genuine way to test a product on commercial equipment — just don't plan a launch around the pilot price.
Stevens Point's 100 barrels comes with a 1,000-barrel minimum annual commitment. The batch size is the friendly number; the annual figure is the one that rules brands in or out.
Octopi's 4,000 cases is published on Asahi's site rather than Octopi's own — the brewery was acquired in January 2024 and octopibrewing.com no longer serves its co-packing information. The offer is still live; the address for it has moved.
Tell us the product and the volume. We come back with the facilities that can actually run it — including the six here that don't publish a number.
